There is more to it than that. Posted by Gene N [Email] ![]() ![]() ![]() In Reply to: electronic trunk release wiring diagram and help please, adam ![]() |
I'm looking at the shop manual, and it is quite an ingenious circuit. The yellow wire on the lock motor is hot all of the time. The black wire is ground. The switch in the door momentarily provides voltage on the green wire. The lock motor continues to run after after the switch is released, kind of like the windshield wipers when you just pull down on the wiper switch. When the motor reaches the end of its travel it breaks the internal circuit and a spring rewinds the motor. Ah, but here is the best part. The switch in the door grounds out the motor windings causing electromagnetic braking on the motor to keep the motor from bouncing on the return travel.
So to do this correctly, you need a relay. Connect the one end of the coil to voltage (the yellow wire) and the other to your remote control grounding circuit. Connect the relay contact common connector to the yellow wire, and the normally open contact to the green wire.
To do this in a half-baked way (I really want to use another expression), cut the green wire and connect it to the yellow wire. Connect the black wire to your remote control grounding circuit. However, your door switch won't work any more using this method. If you try to keep the door switch in the circuit you will blow a fuse when you connect the green and yellow wires together.
I hope I've explained this clearly.
